Is this Internal Medicine mock exam really free?

Yes. All 25 questions, your score, the domain breakdown and the full worked answers are free, with no sign-up and no email required. The paid bank is a separate, much larger set of 474 questions.

Are these real Internal Medicine exam questions?

They are original questions written to the official Internal Medicine blueprint and drawn from our full bank - not leaked or recalled items, which would breach exam security and are frequently out of date. They match the real exam's format, difficulty and domain weighting.

What is the pass mark for the Internal Medicine exam?

60%, for DHA exam INT5921. The authority reports only pass or fail - your actual score is never released to you, which is why a diagnostic like this is the only way to see where you stand.

Does passing this mock mean I will pass the real exam?

No, and we will not claim otherwise. 25 questions cannot predict a full-length paper. What it does reliably show is which blueprint domains you are currently weakest in.

How many attempts do I get at the real exam?

Three in total across all UAE authorities under the Unified Professional Qualification Requirements - not three per authority. Each attempt costs roughly AED 1,030.

What topics does the Internal Medicine exam cover?

The published blueprint splits into 13 domains covering 237 testable sub-topics: Cardiovascular Medicine, Pulmonary and Respiratory Diseases, Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Infectious Diseases, Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, Nephrology, Fluids and Electrolytes, Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology, Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, Haematology and Transfusion Medicine, Neurology and Neuroscience, Oncology and Palliative Care, Patient Safety, Quality and Evidence-Based Practice, Professionalism, Ethics, Communication and Health Systems. The full weighting table is on this page.

How long is the Internal Medicine exam and how many questions?

~150 (DHA Specialist = 150; DHA Consultant = 100; SCFHS SLE = 200; MOHAP/QCHP/NHRA/OMSB = ~150). Duration: 3 hours (SCFHS SLE 4 hours; NHRA 3 hrs seating / 2.5 hrs testing; DHA duration is inclusive of registration and introduction). Question count, duration and pass mark vary by authority and must be confirmed against the current candidate bulletin.

Do I need to create an account to take this mock exam?

No. There is no sign-up, no email capture and no payment. The questions, your score, the domain breakdown and the full worked answers are all free, and nothing is held back behind a form.

Sit 25 real questions at real exam pace

These are 25 genuine questions taken from our Internal Medicine bank - one from each domain on the official blueprint. You get 72 seconds per question, which is exactly the pace of the real INT5921 exam (30 minutes for 25). At the end you will see which domains you are weakest in, and the full worked reasoning for every question.

60%: pass mark

A short diagnostic cannot predict whether you will pass - only the real exam does that. It will show you, honestly, where you currently stand.

What the real Internal Medicine licensing exam looks like

Internal Medicines applying to practise in the UAE sit a computer-based multiple-choice examination - DHA exam code INT5921, delivered through Prometric for DHA, MOHAP and SHA, and through Pearson VUE for DOH Abu Dhabi. The pass mark is 60%, and the result is reported to you as pass or fail only - your score is never released.

The paper is built to a published blueprint, which is why a domain-by-domain diagnostic is more useful than a raw percentage. Your questions above were drawn one per domain across Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, Professionalism, Ethics, Communication and Health Systems, Neurology and Neuroscience, Infectious Diseases and 8 more - the same areas the real paper weights.

Before you can book the exam at all you need Dataflow primary source verification of your degree, licence and experience, which typically runs several weeks. Candidates routinely underestimate this and end up sitting the exam sooner after study than they planned. Check where you stand with our free eligibility checker or confirm whether your title even requires an exam using the Prometric exam checker.

You get three attempts in total across all UAE authorities - not three each - under the Unified Professional Qualification Requirements. At roughly AED 1,030 per attempt, plus the licensing delay each failure adds to your visa and start date, the cost of going in underprepared is not really the exam fee.

What is on the Internal Medicine exam: the full blueprint

The published blueprint splits into 13 domains and 237 testable sub-topics. The diagnostic above samples across all of them, which is why its breakdown maps onto the structure the real paper is built from.

Questions: ~150 (DHA Specialist = 150; DHA Consultant = 100; SCFHS SLE = 200; MOHAP/QCHP/NHRA/OMSB = ~150)
Duration: 3 hours (SCFHS SLE 4 hours; NHRA 3 hrs seating / 2.5 hrs testing; DHA duration is inclusive of registration and introduction)
Pass mark: 60% (DHA Specialist, MOHAP, NHRA, OMSB, QCHP baseline); 70% for DHA Consultant Internal Medicine; SCFHS 65% Registrar / 70% Senior Registrar

Single-best-answer MCQs, predominantly clinical vignettes with labs, ECG, imaging and drug-management stems. Delivery: Prometric for DHA, MOHAP, SCFHS, QCHP, NHRA; Pearson VUE for DOH Abu Dhabi and OMSB. Up to 10% unscored pretest/calibration items may be embedded (explicit in SCFHS board papers). Results are released as Pass/Fail only - DHA does not disclose the numeric score. Three attempts are permitted across the UAE authorities; DHA blocks the applicant after a third failure and cancelled or no-show appointments count as an attempt at MOHAP. SCFHS may lower the passing score one mark at a time to reach a 70% pass rate but never below 65% for board finals. Blueprint section weights may vary +/-3% (SCFHS licensure blueprint) or +/-5% (SCFHS board blueprint) per section. OMSB adds a separately-paid viva in Muscat (~OMR 100 / ~USD 260) after the written paper. DHA exam fee USD 280 at both Specialist and Consultant level.

A worked Internal Medicine exam question

Every question in the diagnostic and in the paid bank is written to this standard: a clinical stem, four plausible options and the reasoning for the answer, with its source.

Emergency and Critical Care Medicine

A 55-year-old woman achieves return of spontaneous circulation after an out-of-hospital ventricular fibrillation arrest. She remains comatose and mechanically ventilated. Blood pressure is 105/65 mmHg, core temperature 37.9 degrees C. Which of the following is the most appropriate component of post-resuscitation care?

AActively prevent fever by maintaining a temperature below 37.5 degrees C for at least 72 hoursCorrect
BPerform neurological prognostication and consider withdrawal of care at 24 hours
CTarget a PaCO2 of 25-30 mmHg to reduce cerebral oedema
DTarget an SpO2 of 100 percent using an FiO2 of 1.0 for the first 24 hours

Why: Current guidance emphasises active temperature control with prevention of fever (temperature below 37.5 degrees C) for at least 72 hours in comatose post-arrest patients, following the TTM2 trial which showed no benefit of hypothermia at 33 degrees C over normothermia. Routine hyperventilation and hyperoxia are both harmful: normocapnia and an SpO2 target of 92-98 percent are recommended. Multimodal neuroprognostication should be delayed until at least 72 hours after ROSC, off sedation.

How to use this diagnostic properly

1Sit it cold, once. Do not look anything up. A diagnostic you help yourself through tells you nothing. The number you get is only useful if it is honest.
2Read every rationale - especially the ones you got right. Getting a question right by elimination is not the same as knowing it. The worked reasoning is free above, whether or not you buy anything.
3Work weakest domain first. The breakdown orders your domains worst-first for exactly this reason. Studying what you are already good at feels productive and moves nothing.
4Re-sit under full exam conditions later. The real paper is far longer than this and stamina matters. Full-length timed papers are what the paid bank is for.
